"Making Money" by Owen Johnson is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story follows the life of Tom Beauchamp Crocker, affectionately known as Bojo, a recent college graduate who is eager to explore the world of finance as he begins his journey in Wall Street. The narrative delves into themes of ambition, personal struggle, and the dynamics of social status as Bojo navigates the complexities of wealth and relationships in New York City. The opening of the book introduces Bojo as he arrives in New York City, filled with excitement and optimism about the opportunities that await him. As he strolls down Fifth Avenue, he reflects on the bustling life around him, underscored by the hurried nature of those engulfed in their own pursuits for success. Throughout his interactions with old college friends, he grapples with their expectations surrounding wealth and status while feeling the weight of his father's expectations to enter the family business. Bojo's conversations reveal his desire for independence and his internal conflict regarding the traditional paths expected of him compared to the ambitions that stir within him. All of this sets the stage for his upcoming challenges as he delves deeper into the fast-paced and often ruthless world of finance, hinting at the transformative journey he is about to embark on.
